ROMA – Six people, all but one of them minors, were killed and about 35 others were injured in a bunch of panic concert guests on Saturday at a disco in a small town in Italy’s central Adriatic coast, said the authorities. A teenage survivor told ANSA that when he tried to escape, he discovered that at least one of the emergency exits was locked.

The club hosted a concert of Sfera Ebbasta, one of the most famous Italian rappers, and up to 1

000 people thought to be inside, BBC News reports. The Lanterna Azzurra club was packed then and many of the injured suffered crushing wounds.

Twelve of the 35 injured were in serious condition, Capocasa said.

The victim’s age was not given immediately. It was not immediately clear how many people were inside when the stamp broke out or the club’s maximum capacity.

A 16-year-old boy told ANSA that disco patrons danced while waiting for the concert to begin when the stamp broke out. The boy who was treated at a hospital said at least one of the emergency exits was locked when he attempted to fly.

The report said the authorities investigated whether emergency exits worked.
